I had started this photo of the day blog last year but then some health problems of the oldest members of my family made last year fly in a moment and prevented me from lots of things but now I'm back full of ideas and projects and here is the result of my first expedition round the corner!

I had hoped in the weather forecast which said it was the first morning of the new year without clouds and I had planned to go and take some pics of a fallow deers colony with three white members. But not only there was fog, unfortunately all the deers were clinging to the hill, too far from me, so my first pic of 2014 has been to these guys with hair standing on end!

And it was a thrilling pic for me as I didn't expect such a meeting and normally wild boars aren't liked by people in the countryside where I live so it's not so easy to spot them with enough light.
